Was gonna write a follow-up post, is Tantrum outside the bar or at least visible? @Maclay

Pretty much right outside the building, but not overly close to the door. From the sound of things, there isn't much going on in the way of windows though (on account of earlier not knowing about the bar's general lack of trolls before entering). So probably not visible, or at least I can't see you.
EDIT: I guess I have thermal vision, but the number of warm bodies between us presumably obfuscates that.

"My assumption would be they get us in and then see if we're retrieving anything of value worth taking...."
"It might benefit us to hybridize our approach. Some of us have trustworthy id; others don't. Fine. But we might need the relationship with the koshari when we come out with unknown cargo, neh?."
I wonder...is the tour reservation system on that 'link in the back?

"Hold on," Duma says, "let me look at something. Drink and quarrel for 3 to 6 minutes, ok?"
aw man
rolling is hard. :-P
I'll load sneak and stealth and dip in covertly with my ASDF set to 2[6]43
I'll run silently with my deck, leaving my avalon on as a dummy and letting an agent on it do some web browsing now and then, purely so I don't look like a dark spot
Shades down, headphones on, like I'm nodding off a hangover while my fellows figure out if we're going to take the tour or if we've slummed enough for the day.
the hot sim bonus offsets the running silent penalty, so I'll leave it out.
First, I'll take a look around for spiders:
Geth, roll 9d6t5 to see if anyone's looking
Then, I'll take a first look at the system:
geth, roll 9d6t5 for matrix perception, i'd like to know the device rating on a net hit
If the DR is >5, I'll go for two marks with hack on the fly
Geth, roll 12d6 for attempt.TwoMarks
If the DR is <=5, I'll go for three
Geth, roll 7d6t5 for attempt.AllThreeMarks
in either case, if successful, I'll start Snooping
geth roll 12d6t5 for MiTM Shenanigans
If I have spare Matrix Perception hits, I'd like to use them to catalog marks on the target and to learn the target's ASDF, in the order F A D S (assuming it even has an A and S)
to see if anyone's looking:
9d6t52 [9d6t5=5, 4, 5, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 4]
matrix perception, i'd like to know the device rating:

@JohnnyCache - As you slip on your shades and relax on a barstool, you give quick instructions to keep the bartender from kicking you out, and delve into the Matrix. You see no sign of anyone watching the Matrix closely, so you feel free to take a closer look at the device in the back room, which you can tell has a Rating of 4. You see that it has a Firewall of 6, and Data Processing of 4.
You crack your knuckles, and begin to spin the red loop of thread that signals your mark. Before you can get too far, however, you feel a stamp on your arm. You look to see the logo of the bar impressed on your arm - they got a mark on you.

? The bartender? I would absolutely not inform the bartender I was about to go full vr in their bar. I was speaking to the party. Did they mark the unslaved com-link I set up as a dummy or my deck? If it's the former, so be it.
Sorry I haven't been active. Weekend away for the wife's birthday. Waiting at an airport now to fly home.
Does anyone have any specific concerns about Halona that they want Breach to bring up?

Anyone who rolled 3+ hits for perception:
Out of the corner of your eye, you see a large troll emerge from a back room. He is wearing a nice shirt & vest combo, and has on sunglasses. He is starting to wander and look around the bar area.
Picking up the drinks, Breach makes his way back to Halona's table, not noticing whether or not a vest wearing troll entered the bar. He his down again and slides the Negroni over to the elf while sipping his own cocktail.
"So. We're not ready to jump into anything yet, but my team is interested in your operation. You get us in, we do our thing for a few days, and you extract us again. Easy." Breach smiles before leaning forwards, "Now comes the haggling....850 creds a head, half on insertion and the other half on extraction. With a bonus if things get hairy with the locals, of course."
Geth, roll 11d6t5 for Negotiation
Woah. Am I reading the karma section correctly? To increase my Influence Group skill from 5 to 6 it will cost me 105 karma? Or to increase an attribute from 4 to 5 will cost me 100 karma?
Negotiation:
11d6t53 [11d6t5=4, 4, 5, 4, 1, 6, 3, 1, 4, 6, 4]

@Egos Not on itself, but you know the following things:
Excluding your group, this is the only troll here. He came from a back room, dressed like the help, not long after Dumah began poking around the Matrix here.
"Well someone has stirred the hornet's nest." intentionally avoiding using the terms "you" or any codenames . Taking a swig , he tries to see what the troll is up to exactly.

geth roll 9d6t5 Security Design if I can guess what likely set off the trolls alarms
the trolls alarms:

the snoop command I'm running on their computer. I'm logged into it (which should basically be unremarkable if it takes bar orders, tour reservations, etc) but I've subverted it just a bit and am using my electronic warfare skill in order to monitor the signals traffic going in and out of it. Basically, the quietest, most passive way I can watch what a system does.
You both figure out, Bauta from his security knowledge and Dumah from the snoop, that the troll is reacting to the intrusion attempt that failed, and is looking for folks that don't fit in.
Dumah also gets from the snoop that the device is acting mostly as an order taker/safari booking device. There isn't much autonomous functionality aside from that. You do notice, however, an external data connection - someone is connected to the device. They're using it to look through the cameras in the place.
@Steelhawk You bring the drinks back to Halona's table, and make your offer. She chuckles to herself. "A bold offer. It is unfortunate that we have the upper hand in these negotiations. 1100 nuyen, keeping your payment schedule & 'hairy bonus'."
You are partly correct: the skill group costs 105, and individual skills from 5 to 6 cost 42, without mentioning the training time. For attributes, you need to find the right row based on the starting rating, and then go from there. So if you have an attribute that started at 4, and want to take it to 5, it would be 25 Karma.
"Listen...lets just move this along," Breach smiles and presumptively raises his glass in a toast. "I'll say 900, then you will say 1050. So lets skip that bit and lets meet at 1000 nuyen. Deal?"

@Steelhawk Halona's smile thins as one of the men next to her whispers something in her ear. After the man finishes, she stands up and begins to leave, tossing a datachip on the table.
"The price remains 1100 per head. If this is acceptable to you, then contact the code on that chip with when you wish to be inserted & extracted. If not, then have a good day, shadowrunner."
She walks away, and over her shoulder she says, "Friendly piece of advice: tell your electronics stooge that habitually attempting to access places they should not be in is a bad habit that could come back to bite them, if they are not careful."
Breach grins ruefully and waves as she leaves (totally checking our her backside as he does) before returning to the group. Of course he pockets the chip.
"Well, that could have gone better if they hadn't pegged Dumah as nosing around in their dataspace." Breach says, putting his empty glass on the bar and waving for another. "I hope you found something we can use."

"They didn't peg shit. They're broadcasting wifi, I'm listening to it, that's all. There's literally nothing to "peg" at this point. I wasn't DEEP enough to find much we could use."
A single mark on my deck for one turn is nothing like a physical trace. I've gone out of my way to also look like a normal user. We should be fine unless he wants to do the equivalent of physically shaking down every person in the bar who might have a non-standard link.
Just to be sure, I'll check my deck for anything clandestine I may have missed:
you don't see anything on your deck that shouldn't be there already. You think the troll is fishing, seeing if anyone is making sudden moves to leave the bar.
You've left little enough mark that you're wondering how the drek this Halona person knew enough to say something.
